JSON inside server sent events gives you a browser native client, no need for streaming extensions to your JSON lib which is kinda rare, and various intermediates know not to buffer the content type already. Sorry to be the what about X guy, maybe there's something I missed?
Yeah this feels very much like someone retyped the Server Sent Events spec and bolted an arbitrary spec on for each message...
Yeah batched arrays isn't the way to go when when you want to mimic what you would get from a traditional message broker. This really should be a spec that builds on SSE but specifies the encoding (CloudEvents) and parameters to negotiate the serialisation (JSON/Protobuf/Avro) and lastEventId, then it would be much more useful.
